Destiny first part Playthrough

To start off I will address the fact this is not my first playthrough with Destiny, Currently I have a level 28 Titan character but none of these playthroughs will be revolved around that character so I can recount as much of the game as possible by playing through it again and posting what I find or what I think about the game here.This time the playthrough will revolve around me creating a brand new character just for this blog.

The current Titan character

I will also skip over all the boring cosmetics of creating the appearance of my character because for most of the game his face will be hidden under a mask. I will only be showing current armor, weapons and level. As you will see there is not much too brag about with this brand new character.

Starting Hunter Character

I have opted to go for the Hunter class over Warlock this time, a class I have faced a number of times in the crucible, the player vs player (Henceforth known as PvP) gamemode. I really like the aesthetics of the class such as the cloak which looks much cooler in comparison to the Titan's mark and the knife melee combat looks really nice compared to the Titan who can only punch other things, which isn't bad its just more satisfying to knife things.

I have just completed the intro of the game and regarding the intro I have a few comments to make that I didn't realize the first time - Such as the Stranger appearing in the intro in the Cosmodrome who appears later on the moon and becomes a bigger part of the game and a main character in the Guardians journey through out the game such as giving the guardian their unique weapon - The Stranger's Rifle. I rather like this little nice intro showing a main character but no interaction between them showcasing that the Stranger has in fact been watching this Guardian for awhile when they finally do make contact. I found it strange however the guardian just seems to accept everything being told to him and questions nothing at all even though he has just been brought back from the dead. I certainly would in his shoes considering Peter Dinklage told me my character would have a few questions about the current state of the world. Guess he is just the strong silent type.

I have now journeyed to the tower for the first time and will be speaking with Cayde-6, the Hunter Vanguard for better equipment. Although because of my Titan class I have max glimmer so I can buy any gear I want now see as glimmer is common between all the classes you have in the game and also trade some equipment with my Titan seen as he obtained the level 20 hunter chest armour - Ghost Angel. He also obtained the level 20 Warlock helmet - Eclipse Maw VI which I will trade to a Warlock class sometime down the line. I will also trade my level 16 Stranger's Rifle to my Hunter class so when he reaches that level he will have a fully outfitted pulse rifle. The only problem for now is my level. 2. Oh well can't have everything handed to me straight off the bat.

Level 2

My character's appearance has not changed much but still its slightly better gear. I won't post every picture with a piece of new equipment so rest easy on that front.

Just defeated my first boss - Riksis - Devil Slayer. I defeated him by chaining the stagger of sniper rifle headshots and thanks to beating him I've been given some new equipment - Tracker 1.0R2, Forester 2.1, Tracker 1.0C and finally Sinaa Jaguar 2.1R3. I've now been moved into my first cutscene with the Speaker. Being honest this guy weirds me out I feel there is something just wrong with him. He says "until the Traveller wakes, I am the only one who speaks for him" which sounds very possessive to me as if he is the one keeping the Traveller in the state its in and using the Guardians to fight off the Traveller's enemies until he is finished doing something... I would not be half surprised to see in the future he is evil and stealing the Light of the Traveller for himself. Maybe in a DLC which I will talk about in a separate post.

Obtained silver in my first public event with my new character. I lured the Blade of Crota in the Cosmodrome in to help but there just wasn't enough time. Also I unlocked the double jump ability which I have to say is not nearly as good as the hover ability of Titans. Hopefully it will improve and this is just because its the start of a new class I remember I had similar problems with the Titan subclass - Defender. I'm hoping the triple jump will be a lot better. The incendiary grenade bounces an awful lot when thrown i'm not sure I like that. Just unlocked my super - Golden Gun, I have been waiting to try this super out and I think it will be probably my favourite one in the game. And not just for the James Bond reference.

Also my Titan character has 2 Crypt Hammers so I will trade 1 of them to my Hunter class as well seen as he will only need 1 for himself but then again my Titan uses the Jumpship Belisarius Defiant so he doesn't need either Crypt Hammer.
